...I was thinking about not using this thing until I got shocked, since I never got shocked from the mistletoe thing, but then I realized I had a question I needed to ask. Which is, it's almost New Year's. It's obviously going to be impossible to have temple visits and cook the food and send postcards and dress up and stuff, so I was wondering, how

So western New Year is more 'proper'?

[shockinglycool]

I don't think it's like that.

But there are a lot of Westerners here, y'know? I'm curious, too, and we can't do much traditional stuff, I think, so it might be fun to do it in the American custom.

[kan_chyan]

Why not? They did Christmas, there's nothing wrong with doing New Year as close as possible.

[shockinglycool]

Is it a matter of taking turns...?

[tigerinstincts]

There are usually a lot of fireworks and... noise.

You're supposed to make new year's resolutions, too.

[shockinglycool]

I see...

"Resolutions," huh.

[tigerinstincts]

Well, they're supposed to be made.

...Not that people typically follow through with them.

[shockinglycool]

That's pretty much human nature, though.

I'm gonna do a New Years' thing at the Lights.

[shockinglycool]

Japanese or Western?

[prodigal_axe]

Not sure yet. Maybe combine it, or mix it up. Get traditions from both goin.' Either way, I held back some gin for it.

[shockinglycool]

I see...

I wonder if I can make mochi...

...I see. Thank you. [...] I don't... have you found anything else..?

Do you need or want anything?

{Voice | Japanese}

[whatthefactor]

True enough.

It's no problem. There is nothing I can think of 4 the time being.

Yeah... [...] It's nice that they have been... but not really comforting.

Well, I'm still in your debt, so please don't hesitate if you need anything.

Why do you want to do it "how American's do it"?
Not everyone here is American you know.

[shockinglycool]

Americans and Westerners in general. How about that?

[dlihcraw]

Would you like to know how Russian's do it?

[shockinglycool]

Yes. If you please.
